Application fi e March 16, 1905. Serial No. 250.463.

To all wh/mn it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AUsBIN D. KANDLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pencoyd,.in the county of Montgomery and State ofPennsylvania, have made certain new and l useful Improvements inHead-Rests, of which I the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in headrests for barbers chairs, andconsists in cer tain novel constructions and combinations of parts, aswill be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a head-rest providedwith my improvements. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the papercutter and guide. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the base of thepaper-guide, and

.ig. 4 is a detail view of the rocker.

The head-rest A is suitably supported, and below it is secured acylinder B, containing a paperroll. The paper is drawn from thiscylinder up over the head-rest A and thence through the combined papercutter and guide 0. This device includes a base-plate D, provided at itsends with the upturned lugs E, formed by cutting out the base-plate andturning up the slitted or cut-out portions to form the lugs, as shown.The base-plate is also provided with depending lugs d, secured to theback of the head-rest, and the rear edge of the base-plate is cut out atd to permit the operator to readily grasp the end of the strip of paperto draw the same through the guiding device.

The lugs or ears E form the bearings for the rocker, which will bedescribed more fully hereinafter. The front end portion of thebase-plate D is extended considerably forward of said lugs to form atransverselyextending strip or bed D, with which the adjacent edge ofthe binding -plate of the rocker is adapted to engage, so as to pressthe paper firmly against said base-plate and hold the same againstimproper shifting. The bed is somewhat returned on itself, forming acorrugation or channel which constitutes a bead, serving to stiffen orreinforce the portion of the base-plate with which said binding-plate ofthe rocker engages.

The rocker F comprises a rod or shaft F, l journaled in the lugs E, andthe binding-plate F cutter-plate F and handle F. The binder-plate F andthe cutter-plate F are at an angle to each other and fit over the shaft1 F, and a spring Gis arranged to actuate the rocker in such manner asto press the binding-plate normally down against the base plate to holdthe paper securely thereto. This spring G is shown as a coil-springwound around the shaft F and engaging at one end with the base-plate Dand at its other end against the rocker to press the rocker into contactwith the base-plate.

The cutter-plate F has its free edge sharpened, and preferably serrated,so it will readily cut the paper when drawn across such edge. It will benoticed that the rocker is normally pressed by the spring G to positionto hold the free edge of the paper when the latter is drawn tightlyacross the head-rest, the handle F being so disposed that it can beconveniently operated to tilt the rocker so the binding-plate thereofmay be raised clear of the base-plate and the cutting edge be adjusteddown against the base-plate to facilitate cutting off the portion ofbeen used, when by quickly releasing the rocker it will spring back,causing its binding-plate to press the paper tightly against thebase-plate with its free end projecting over the notched-out portion (Zof the baseplate so it can be readily grasped by the operator.

The construction is simple and can be easily applied to a head-rest andenables the barber to quickly draw the paper that has been used from thehead-rest, bringing a fresh sec tion over the head-rest, and to quicklycut ofi the paper that has been used.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a head-rest of a guiding device for papercomprising a baseplate having its front edge returned forming a bead orstrip along its upper side and its rear edge notched or cut away topermit the free edge of a sheet of paper to be grasped and having lugsfor connection with a head rest and upwardly-projecting bearing-lugs, arocker comprising a handle by which it may be rocked, a shaft journaledin the bearinglugs of the base-plate, a binding-plate and a cutter-plateat an angle to each other and fitting over the shaft, and a springcoiled on the shaft and bearing at one end against the base-plate and atits other end against the rocker to actuate the latter.

paper that has 2. The combination in a paper-holding device of abase-plate having a forwardly-extending bed, a rocker pivoted inconnection 1 to bind the paper with both edges at all times within finesof the width of said base-plate with one edge adapted to contact withsaid base-plate thereagainst and its other the conedge constituting acutter adapted to press the paper against Witnesses said plate, and aspring confined between the angular sides of said rocker, upon the pivotthereof.
